this girl

There is a girl in my Psychology class who considers herself my "friend." By friend I don't mean confidant, but I do mean that we're supposed to do each other polite favors ( Read more... )

It seems strange to me that you would even consider sending her your sources. I'd just send her a note saying to look at her class notes, but I'd avoid the comment about how long you spent on it (it comes off as a bit vindictive, and it sounds like you want to keep this girl not mad at you).

I think that you're in the right to be annoyed but I dunno the extent of your annoyance. It is a yes or no question. I'd say answer the question (yes or no) and that's it. No need to add in how much time it took you since that's individual depending on the searcher. ... and I have no idea why you'd send the sources either.

your 'friend' is either a mooch, or really has no idea what's going on.

I've been in the latter camp, and I usually say something to tht effect, like, "man, I don't know what I'm doing in this class."

I'm with Kevin on her being a mooch. Don't let her walk all over you and become dependent. She'll start automatically assuming that you will help her in anything. She's either playing stupid or she is stupid. Either way, you need to let her know that she is capable of doing things on her own.

In this situation, you have the right to tell her that she needs to put forth effort into finding her own resources. She needs to do her own work, and giving her all of your resources is basically copying off of you, and that's not fair.

I would put it in more polite terms, as you never know what will come back to bite you in the ass. But i do believe you are justified in being annoyed. It's not as though she is incapable of contacting the instructor for clarification on notes she supposedly took in class. She really shouldn't expect you to pass this class for both of you.
